About 6A601ZZ
6A601ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a phototherapy procedure on the skin using a multiple approach with no qualifier. In ICD-10-PCS, phototherapy means extracorporeal treatment by light rays.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other phototherapy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.83).
For a different body part, codes include 6A651ZZ (circulatory).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 6A600ZZ (single).
It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
